GREASING DEVICE FOR BAKERS USE.

Application filed .Tune 2G, 1915.

To all 107mm t may concern:

Be it known that I, GUsTAr EMANUEL- soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Greasing Devices for Bakers Use; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings 'constitute part of this application, and represent, in-

Figure l a top or plan view of a greasing device constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 .a side view of the same.

Fig. 8 a sectional view on the line cL- of Fig. l.

This invention relates to an improvement in greasing device for bakers use, and particularly for bakers pans which usually consist of large sheets of metal, the object being to provide a device by which the pans may be conveniently greased, and the invene tion consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.

In carrying` out my invention I employ a grease-holding box 2 preferably rectangular with a flat bottom and adapted to contain lard, lard oil or other suitable material used by bakers for greasing Y their pans. Preferably this box will be mounted upon a suitable base 3 which may be attached to a bench, if desired. Over the top of the box is placed a pad or wick 4; of felt or other suitable material. It will be noted that this pad is of somewhat larger dimensions than the dimensions of the box 2 so .as to project beyond the sides thereof as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of the draw- 'Speccaton of Letters Patent.

ings. This pad may be secured to the box by pins 5 which mav extend into the block or base 3 so as to hold the box in a stationary position. This pad or wick 4 is formed with a centrally arranged longitudinal slot 6 forming an opening through which the box may be filled and by cutting the slot the pad is weakened at the center so that the central portion tends to drop down into the greasing material. /Vhen the box is filled with greasing material it will be absorbed by the wick so that when pans are passed over the surface of the wick or pad the grease will be applied to the face of the pan in an even manner. These pans are quite heavy, and when forced down upon the pad will compress it to a certain extent and force it into the greasing material so as to always maintain the pad in a saturated condition. Furthermore, if the center of the pad is depressed and the pan is placed upon the pad a space is formed between the pad and pan within the edges of the pad and so that as the pan is pressed upon the pad a vacuum is formed, causing the pad to tend to adhere to the pan and so that when the pan is elevated vertically, it will tend to draw the greasing material upward. This action, although slight, is sufficient to assist in maintaining' the pad in a saturated condition.

I claim A greasing device for bakers use comprising a rectangular box having a flat bottom and open at the top, and adapted to contain greasing material, a pad secured to the up* per edges of the box and projecting beyond the walls thereof, said pad formed with a central longitudinal slot permitting the central portion of the pad to drop into the box.
